Abstract
This descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional, randomized community-based study was done to determine factors influencing drug compliance in the mass drug administration (MDA) programme against filariasis in selected urban and rural populations within the Western province of Sri Lanka. The study population was selected using the cluster sampling method. Factors influencing drug compliance were determined by administration of an interviewer-based pre-tested questionnaire eliciting information regarding drug compliance, socio-economic status, educational background, knowledge, attitudes and practices with regard to the 2004 MDA. A total of 2319 people aged between 10 and 90 years (median 40) responded to the questionnaire. The belief that the MDA programme was beneficial was the most important factor affecting drug compliance, as revealed by multivariate analysis of the combined populations (P < 0.001). This was so even in the urban population (P < 0.001), while the belief regarding the severity (danger) of filariasis was important in the rural population (P = 0.013), when the areas were considered individually. Therefore, it is essential for awareness programmes to highlight the dangers (complications) of the disease and to influence the community to perceive the benefits of a filariasis-free community as well as ‘beyond filariasis’ benefits of having albendazole given in combination in the MDA programme.
